Liquits
A Surreal Journey Through the Garden of the Mind
The song 'Jardin' by Liquits is a vivid and surreal exploration of the mind's garden, filled with whimsical and fantastical imagery. The lyrics paint a picture of a dreamlike landscape where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. The opening lines describe waking up in a garden where flowers mock the narrator's nakedness, setting the tone for a journey that is both introspective and liberating. The presence of a dragon playing melodies on a flute and the dewdrops reflecting a distorted gaze suggest a world where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and the mundane transforms into the magical.
As the song progresses, the imagery becomes even more surreal. The mention of 'paste de pitufresa' mixed with natural peyote and blackberries hints at a psychedelic experience, enhancing the sense of an altered state of consciousness. The dance of poppies inviting the narrator to join them in their game symbolizes a call to embrace freedom and abandon societal norms. The rocking horses escorting the happy king's head and the stork carrying the narrator as a baby to its nest further emphasize the whimsical and childlike nature of this dreamscape.
The recurring desire to run naked in various locations, from a garden to cities like Paris and Timbuktu, reflects a longing for ultimate freedom and happiness. This desire to shed societal constraints and embrace one's true self is a central theme of the song. The Mexican painting neon golden apple trees and worms disguised in glue state add a touch of cultural and absurdist elements, enriching the song's tapestry. 'Jardin' is a celebration of the imagination, a call to embrace the surreal and the fantastical, and a reminder of the joy found in unrestrained freedom.
